Another goal is to have consistency of the rules and presentation across all areas of our site: Galleries, Free Stuff, Tutorials, Blogs, Homepages and the MarketPlace. In order to reach both these goals, we need to change the way thumbnail images appear to match the rules in the MarketPlace and the weekly newsletter. Thumbnail images across Renderosity will no longer contain nudity or graphic violence going forward** **

*Now this is the one I don't get. Why do the rules for advertisements have to be the same as the rules for art? This is not the case in mainstream culture. It is against the rules in the USA I guess to use nudity in an advert in a regular newspaper but it is not against the law to show, for example, A Leonardo daVinci drawing as a promo for a gallery exhibition. Is this art site saying there is no difference between art and commercial products?
